#15 Install on Debian Failure
After it checks for all the dependancies and finds all them, I
am getting this message:
Downloading package file http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/
sourceforge/guido/Guido-0.51.tar.gz to /tmp/
guido...successful.

followed by:

I have IO::Zlib installed:
steve@2[IO]$ pwd
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.2/IO
steve@2[IO]$ ls Z*
Zlib.pm
Any Ideas? Thanks, Steve.

Hi Steve,
You seem to have a different guido_installer_0_25.pl to the
one I have.
As far as I can tell Guido does not use IO::Zlib *anywhere*.
Please do a sum on the installer ... it should look like:
> steveg@eldred:~/guido> sum guido_installer_0_25.pl
> 35457 16
Cheers,
Steve Gunnell

OK, it installed, but when I launch guido, it does aboslutely nothing.. I
get a splash screen and then one window with a new,open,refresh
buttons which do nothing..
here is the output to my terminal
medion:/usr/local/guido/bin# perl guido.pl

Ahhh yes .... 8-(
The arrival of ptk 800 broke a lot of things. You may notice in
guido-dev mailing list that I have been fixing things in CVS but
none of this has propagated to a release yet.
The head of the CVS tree has all the project stuff working but
I am stuck in the code that implements the widget build
(which is probably the reason you downloaded Guido). I can
get a non drag'n'drop builder window working with a couple of
hacks but I dont want to check that code in until I can work
out the root causes and do a proper fix.
Once the hacks are applied you can build simple widgets and
forms and the code generation seems to work properly.
If you are interested in helping James would be happy to
make you a developer.
If you just want to play ... you can download the CVS head
and run a 'make dist' from the supplied makefile which will
create a tarball. Unpack the tarball and run setup.pl to
refresh the /usr/local/guido/hierarchy. If you go that far I'll
throw in the hack for free! 8-)
In the mean time I'm thinking longingly about Guido::Lite
maybe coupled with ZooZ as the widget builder interface.
Cheers,
Steve Gunnell
